Take a pack of egg noodles - medium - and cook them for 3 minutes in boiling water
Run under cold water and toss them in 2 teaspoons sesame oil

Then finely slice a red and yellow pepper, a bunch of spring onions, and use a veg peeler to make strips of half a cucumber and a carrot
Chop a bunch of fresh coriander and a handful of fresh mint leaves

Add these vegetables to the noodles

The dressing
***************

In a bowl put the juice of three limes and a tablespoon of sugar. Mix until the sugar is dissolved
Then add one or 2 chopped red chillies without the seeds, three cloves crushed garlic and a 2 inch piece of ginger finely chopped

Add 6 tablespoons olive oil and three tablespoons soy sauce and mix well

Juts before serving Pour over the noodles and veg and mix well with clean hands, you may think there's not enough dressing but there is

Add a big handful of chopped salted peanuts and mix

Add shredded turkey or prawns
That't it!!

I'm just watching Nigella
She's got the munchies

best nigella is where she does the midnight fridge munchie raid n comes out with a mars bar ...... go on girl

Just done her Ham in Coke recipe and bought a nice slab of bacon to do Tom Kerridge's Bacon and Honey recipe. I love baked meats at Christmas!

We will be trying this! I'm sure Watson had other plans for the turkey. And the prawn.

Or leave the meat and oil out if you want off the cholesterol drugs. Thanks for the ideas, it's going on brown rice noodles with a splash of fish sauce. I'm already drooling.

me too but ya know

I don't know if I could run under cold water and toss noodles at the same time!
